laureat or buffet?

Aloha acmepride.*smile* For me, I prefer for a buffet. I love to minggle others while roaming around for food. I think it is more enjoyable than laureat. :) Buffet kept your visitors more casual and feeling like just at home with some friends and new found friends.*smile*

Both are good, but i think buffet will be better for me, so my friend or my family can choose any food he/she want.

I generally prefer buffet. In buffet you can eat the things you like most from the spread. When there is no option i prefer lauret.

I would love to treat them on a buffet or eat all you can restos but mom is not a big eater so maybe it's not worth it. Whatever or wherever the place is though..It would be great to have them around hanging out with me..I don't see them much today and more so spending time with them. :)

If I was going to give a treat to my friends or family, I would prepare a delicious and selective food and make sure they eat well regardless buffet, cocktail or laureate and so on. Normally I prefer 4 courses meal and serve them myself so that I know what they like individually and make them feel my hospitality. I don’t mind to serve buffet either, but there is not enough room to move around in our dinning and living room. LOL

I think I prefer to treat my family and friends in a buffet because I do not really know their preferences in food and its also tedious to prepare food just to cater to their taste buds. I think that buffet is more economical and my guests can go back to the buffet table whenever they want. However, for formal occasions, I'd prefer laureate, so the guests wont have to stand and form lines in a buffet table. :)

I'll opt for a buffet or those eat-all-you-can offer. That way I will not spend alot and me and my family/friends can eat more.

i like to treat them in buffet.I think this way they can eat what item they want from the buffet in their liked quantity.

I would prefer the buffet at Golden Corral. That way we can all get what we want. Since some of us are diabetics it's a great place to eat and still watch our diet. Even those who have to be careful with the salt can eat there, because they do not season the food. It's my favorite place to eat.

Hmm, reading the responses here, I'm thinking if we all have the same concepts of lauriat :). Being from a Chinese family, our choice is lauriat. You still have a wide variety of dishes (usually 8 courses excluding rice/noodles and dessert). You don't have to stand up to queue. The food is brought to your table, on the lazy susan in the middle of the round table. Now, if you don't like the dish currently served, you can just wait for the next dish. Food is generally good for 10-12 persons. You can actually get more of the dish, as long as you remember to leave some for others. It's a happy compromise between a sit down dinner and a buffet. :)

If I were to treat my family, I would bring them to an eat all you can food store or restaurant. I am also planning to bring then to a fancy restaurant.

Hi acmepride, if you tell me what a laureat is I can answer better. Thanks!

If i were to treat my family and friends, it would have to be buffet style. This way each of us will have a wide variety of options on which food item to choose and the experience of being able to eat at our heart's delight is worth all the money i'm spending. We are a family of food-lovers so our bonding time especially on birthday occasions are spent dining out. And there's nothing more enjoyable to us than eating buffet style.
